Welcome to GNU MDK.
-MDK stands for MIX Development Kit and provides tools for developing
-and executing, in a MIX virtual machine, MIXAL programs. The MIX is
-Donald Knuth's mythical computer, described in the first volume of The
-Art of Computer Programming, which is programmed using MIXAL, the MIX
-assembly language. MDK includes a MIXAL assembler (mixasm) and a MIX
-virtual machine (mixvm) with a command line interface. Using this
-interface, you can debug your MIXAL programs at source code level, and
-read/modify the contents of all the components of the MIX computer
-(including block devices, which are simultated using the file system).
+GNU MDK is an official GNU package [0].

+mixvm, called gmixvm, is provided; and, in case you are an Emacs guy,
+you can try misc/mixvm.el, which allows running mixvm inside an Emacs
+GUD buffer.
